Re: Date compare Best Practices

Yes, you take those older versions of RPG and have them call a RPGLE 
program that can do date fields properly and convert to your hearts 
content.

Is the PHB really demanding RPG400, if so, what version?  Why?  Or by 
older versions did you mean S/36 environment RPG?

Date compare Best Practices






Hi,
I am looking to take two dates entered and passed to a work file build 
program. They are passed as MMDDYYYY from and to dates. They will be 
compared with from and to dates in a master file and then records are 
selected that pass. Since I have already written the first program that 
accepts the entry from the user I can perhaps change my order in the 
program there. THe presentation to the user must be in the order 
described. So far I can only recall that I would take each date and 
rearrange it with a series of MOVES into a Data Structure. I am interested 
if there are better ways again unfortunately in the older versions of RPG.
Thanks,
Rob
